     * # Failure
     *
     * Under Windows, if two processes race to `kill()` a third process,
     * or two threads race to `kill()` a process there is a (small) window
     * during which this can cause a crash in the losing process.
     *
     * # Caveats
     *
     * Under Windows, process killing is asynchronous. Therefore, this
     * function can return before process `pid` is actually dead.
